View Comments In the first 113 days of 2021, 100 people who had been living on the streets, in shelters and in locations unfit for human habitation moved home. In the first four months of this year while we worried about COVID-19 and political divisions and a late frost taking the blooms from the trees, 100 people achieved something basic and foundational. One hundred people faced a level of uncertainty that most of us can only guess at, confronted barrier after barrier, sought out a network of support and moved home. St. John Center has the privilege of being part of these journeys. We connect our guests to jobs and landlords. We address old debts, help them obtain copies of their birth certificates and other identification. But more critically, St. John Center serves as a hub of connection with a wide network of support. Some of the 100 met with the Legal Aid Society at St. John Center to file for Social Security income or to expunge old criminal records. Some met with the Veterans Affairs to learn about special housing vouchers for people who have served in the U.S. Military. Others met with the Continuum of Care’s Common Assessment Team to evaluate the need for housing with supportive services. Some reconnected with family. And many of the 100 people who moved into housing of their own did so because the Louisville Metro Housing Authority prioritized moving people off the streets during a pandemic by using Disaster Relief funding.
